Year of Food & Drink Scotland 2015 – Roe Deer Recipe

The roe deer is the Monarch of the Glen. It’s also the food of kings so it’s not cheap but rather a treat for that special occasion. This dish can be really hearty or remarkably light, depending on whether you choose to use the potatoes or not. Red deer is deliciously lean meat and is best served rare. It is therefore really important to seal it in a very hot pan then transfer to the oven to finish cooking.
